There are many people who want to take away foreign treasures from Li Yi's hands, but it is the first time he has encountered crooked nuts that want to take away Chinese cultural relics from him, so he did not refuse in a hurry, but followed his words. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Mr. Cameron, if you really want this candlestick, it's not impossible, but I'm not short of money, and I hope you can exchange something I like for me."

Li Yi's abacus is very simple, although this candlestick is good, but it is not the kind of particularly precious cultural relics, but this Mr. Cameron's collection is different, more than 600 pieces of Chinese cultural relics, there are always some here that he did not clearly realize its true value, right? Wouldn't it be a good thing if you could exchange this one for one?

"Swap out something you like? Ok, then Mr. Li, can you tell me what kind of things you like? ”

"Hehe, this is not necessarily, I like porcelain, calligraphy and painting, bronze and bronze including ancient jewelry and jade, it depends on what kind of goods you can come up with."

Cameron was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile,

"I see what you mean, Mr. Li, you want to see my collection? Haha, please come with me. ”

Most collectors, when they meet their kind, especially those with the same aspirations, like peacocks in a zoo, like peacocks in the zoo, like a peacock, Mr. Cameron is no exception. So when he guessed that Li Yi wanted to take a look at his collection, not only did he not hide it, but instead sent out a warm invitation.

Of course, in the case of the two of them, they would generally not take out any top-level cultural relics for Li Yi to visit, but Li Yi didn't expect to see a treasure of that level, because in that case, he wouldn't have any advantage at all!

"Cizhou kiln black glaze rust spotted jade pot spring bottle, Qianlong blue and white eight treasure pattern holding pot, Ming Wanli colorful Zhuge bowl...... Hey? ”

Suddenly, he sighed softly, and was attracted by a tea bowl with uneven edges, white glaze all over the body, but many brown eyes.

This tea bowl, the shape of the rough look as if a child kneaded it casually, but you can taste it carefully, but you can feel a rough and clumsy style from it, and this style is not a cultural relic from China at a glance.

"Oh, this is a Shino tea bowl from Japan, it was given to a friend of my father, and I heard that it has a history of hundreds of years."

"Shino tea bowls from hundreds of years ago?"

Li Yi raised his eyebrows, picked up this ceramic tea bowl and carefully took a large number of them, and found that the white glaze on its surface was indeed close to the famous "Shino glaze" in Japan, and couldn't help but nod.

Shino is the name of a pottery school that was born in the Azuchi-Momoyama period of Japan, when Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi dominated Japan. Its predecessor was the White Order, which was developed from the black glazed porcelain of the Song Dynasty in China.

In the Middle Ages, there were famous "six ancient kilns" in Japanese pottery kilns, among which the Seto kiln developed to the Azuchi-Momoyama period, because of the continuous war, the potters fled. At the same time, new high-quality clay was discovered in the neighboring Mino area, and a new pottery center centered on Mino was formed, and a series of new varieties such as Yellow Sedo, Seto Black, Shino, and Oribe were produced, which were historically known as the Seto system.

Shino pottery, one of the representative works of the Seto system, is made of a special "mugwort clay", which is white and blue, and has an extremely soft texture. Although ancient Japan was unable to produce a white glaze as pure and gorgeous as that of Huaxia due to the gap in craftsmanship, if you look at it from the perspective of the present, you will find that Shino contains pure Japanese creativity, pure and gentle, in stark contrast to the solitary indifference of Chinese and Korean white porcelain.

Shino in the Momoyama period has always been the most popular among Japanese people, but the earliest Shino pottery that appeared was pure white and unveined, the so-called "Shino no Murachi", and it was not until the late Momoyama period that Eshino appeared in the fetal soil with natural iron oxide raw materials and then applied white glaze. In addition, there are many varieties such as Akashino, **** Wild, and Rat Shino, but almost all of the famous products in Shino are Eshino.

What Li Yi is holding now is a piece of painting, and the painting is still the most famous "flower wall" in the early days. Although he doesn't know much about the circulation of Eshino in Japan's Momoyama period, he can guess that there shouldn't be too many well-preserved ones like this in all of Japan.

This should be a very precious thing, at least for the Japanese. But seeing that Cameron didn't seem to take it much seriously when he mentioned it just now, Li Yi couldn't help but move in his heart, and decided to find an opportunity to test it later.

Cameron's treasure room has a total of more than 400 collections, among which in addition to the Shino pottery may be a big leak, there is also a white ground glaze red colored porcelain in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty has also been placed in the sequence of Qing Dynasty porcelain, Li Yi estimates that Cameron should regard it as a Qing imitation.

The colored porcelain in the Yongle period was mistaken for Qing imitation, which is actually a very normal thing. Before the eighties of the last century, the porcelain has never seen Yongle colored porcelain, and later there was a major discovery on the site of the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory, only to know that most of the colored porcelain in the late Ming Dynasty has actually begun to be fired since the Yongle period.

After that, some of the previously identified imitation porcelain has also been overturned by experts, but there are still many doubts, Cameron as a crooked nut, although there is also a certain level of porcelain appreciation, it is normal for errors and omissions to appear on it.

Although the colored porcelain in the Qianlong period is also precious, compared with the scarce Yongle colored porcelain, the value of the two is absolutely incomparable.

So after Li Yi saw this porcelain, the rest of the things were hurriedly swept, because he had already decided to exchange the candlestick for this porcelain. As for that Shino pottery, it's best to take it away, but there's really no way to take it away.

"Mr. Cameron, your collection is really an eye-opener for me, I never thought that I could meet a collector abroad who really likes Chinese cultural relics, instead of thinking about using Chinese cultural relics to make a profit, you are a real noble collector!"

Feeling that the negotiation may be difficult later, Li Yi is ready to pat himself on the back first. However, if Cameron really does collect for hobby rather than for profit, as he himself said, he does deserve respect.

"Mr. Li, you are so polite, may I ask, is there any of my collections that you are interested in?"

Seeing that Cameron couldn't wait like this, Li Yi's heart couldn't help but move, this guy, could it be that there was still a secret hidden in that candlestick that he didn't know?

"Mr. Cameron, I've already thought that I can give you the candlestick, but I need you to exchange this Shino pottery, this colored porcelain plum vase, and this Taibai bottle for me."

Since it was confirmed that Cameron really wanted his candlestick, Li Yi naturally had nothing to be polite about, and directly opened his mouth and added a cowpea red and white bottle from the Kangxi period to the exchange catalog.

Li Yi is indeed very greedy this time, not to mention the value of the Shino pottery, just the value of a Qianlong imitation Yongle colorful plum bottle should be on par with his candlestick, not to mention that this is still a genuine product in the Yongle period.

As for the cowpea red and white bottle he added later, its value is far above the candlestick, if you really want to buy it in the market, I am afraid that all three candlesticks can be bought.

Because, Taibai Bottle is the Kangxi official kiln to create the fire, the cowpea red glaze is the most famous, and the cowpea red is also the famous product of the Kangxi official kiln, and it is only seen in the Kangxi Dynasty!

It's just that Li Yi dared to be so tempted, and it was not purely because he was not sure at all, because the cowpea red he chose, if it was only judged from the color, should belong to the one that was burned. Normally, even if this kind of porcelain is relatively old and well-preserved, it will not have much collection value.

Generally speaking, the glaze color of cowpea red is divided into three grades, and the highest grade is called "Da Hong Pao" or "Zheng Hong", and the glaze red is bright and eye-catching, clean and flawless, and the whole body is the same color.

Medium cowpea red with a slightly lighter glaze and often with varying shades of erythema. The most inferior is called "suckling rat skin", which is dark and cloudy, like donkey liver and horse lung, and is not at all pleasing at all.

However, the cowpea red that Li Yi selected, not to mention the top-notch "big red robe", is not even a "suckling mouse skin", because it shows a faint yellow and cyan color all over its body, and only a few parts have a few very light red patches!

Cowpeas are braised to the point that there is almost no red at all, isn't this burned?

However, even though he said that, Li Yi was actually clear about the situation, so as soon as he finished speaking, he stared at Cameron's eyes, and now it was his turn and he couldn't wait!

Sure enough, Cameron hesitated a little when he heard that Li Yi actually opened his mouth to change one for three, but since hesitation meant that there was still something to talk about, Li Yi simply didn't wait for him to reply, and directly resorted to a killer move.

"Mr. Cameron, actually, I wasn't going to exchange this candlestick in the first place. You don't know that my private museum is about to open, but I think the category of the collection is still a bit simple, so I am going to enrich my collection with this candlestick. ”

"However, after communicating with you, I felt that I should fulfill the wishes of such a great collector as you, so I ......"

"Oh? Is Mr. Li about to open a private museum? Congratulations! ”

Cameron said congratulations with a hint of embarrassment.

"Since this candlestick is what Mr. Li intends to use to enrich the museum's collection, it stands to reason that I should not have made this request. However, I really need this candlestick...... So be it, three pieces are three, Mr. Li, happy cooperation! ”

"Happy working together!"

Li Yi secretly exhaled a long breath, a "beauty drunk" was so easy to get it, it was so lucky! (To be continued.) )
